This project was co-created by Kari Butler and Megan Devine. Kari Butler wrote chapter 2, while Megan Devine wrote chapter 1, 3, and 4. Both authors worked together to create the website. The authors created activities and lessons together and as individuals to put on the website.
Teachers have a great deal of access to computers and other technology, but many lack the time or knowledge to create engaging and standards based lessons. The authors felt that there needed to be a website that had these types of lessons and activities on it to help third grade teachers.
Sources of Data
The data was found mainly in education journals and education books. Many references were found online through the CSUS library.
Conclusions Reached
The authors have concluded that a website is a beneficial tool for many third grade teachers and that it will help increase student participation and learning.
